I don't know what term should be used to differentiate these 2 kind of laws but it isn't morality. But morality is not irrelevant when making these decicions, after all there must be a good reason why evolution developed it.
About laws that are made to protect people from themselves, I think people are just too stupid to always know what's best for them, so there is Some use for this kind of laws too. Plus stuff like allowing unrestricted use of any drugs, would eventually hurt other people too, not just the users.

The US was founded in the ideal that it was for the people by the people, the two party system has worked US against each other while they take our rights away and impose morality driven laws, they use moralities to endear us to get them voted in and then when the smoke clears, we find out we have no more rights.
Prop 187, we as californians voted to take away services for illegal aliens by a wide margin, one judge took away that vote, the system is fucked

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
